                                                    About the
  Sinnemahoning Stakeholders Watershed Grant Program (SSWGP)


     The Sinnemahoning Stakeholders Watershed Grant Program disburses approximately $150K annually towards watershed restoration and environmental improvement projects in the affected watershed area.  To date, more than $1.5 million has been awarded back into Sinnemahoning and Portage Creek watersheds through projects.

     Settlement monies from the June 30th, 2006 Norfolk Southern train derailment that caused a serious fish kill in Big Fill Run, Sinnemahoning Portage Creek, and the Driftwood Branch of Sinnemahoning Creek are being administered by Headwaters RC&D Council Sinnemahoning Stakeholders Committee to fund successful applications to the SSWGP each year.
The SSWGP offers funding to:
 - Watershed and conservation groups with incorporation status
 - Counties and municipalities
 - County conservation districts
 - Council of governments
​ - Commonwealth agencies
 - Any other authorized organizations involved in research, restoration, rehabilitation, planning, acquisition, development, education, or other activities that further the protection, enhancement, conservation, preservation or enjoyment of Pennsylvania's environmental conservation, recreation or similar resources.

All projects must be located within the Sinnemahoning Creek Watershed.
